Shavers/Quarry: any one round KO is unsettling, when the opponents are of equal
caliber. Was Quarry that much better? Was Foreman that much better than Frazier?
Or was it just styles in both cases? "Luck" is always there for the prepared
fighter who's presented with opportunity, so it's up to the observer to assign
it or not. Quarry/Tyson? When Tyson first came on the scene, though he hadn't
fought the quality of people that Jerry did, I don't know if I'd have put money
on him winning. But we didn't know. Tyson sure seemed to be the next monster.
However, as we gradually became aware of just how bedbug crazy Tyson is, I'd
have given JQ a shot. He'd have stayed cool, gotten in close, and if he didn't
cut, I believe he'd have had a sufficient bag of tricks with which to befuddle
Mike, to have a run at him.R.S. and Angelo,okay,I give up. I will
concede that there may be a
place for women's boxing.>Remember the first woman who ran the Boston
Marathon? "They" didn't used to think women could handle distances longer than a
mile. With opportunities opening up, there'll be women who'll get into anything
that looks exciting, makes a statement, and might make a little money. It'll
even out with time, just as I imagine there's a huge turnover rate with men who
initially walk into a gym, thinking they want to be a boxer, and decide, "Uh,
maybe not!" later (I suspect sooner than later).At least the training is
good and healthy for them and will
produce many beautifill female bodies for old guys like me to
ogle.>It's the best training going, for both sexes. Angelo,I
don't think the point is that well taken.How many
pro fighters ,by the time their career is at the halfway point,would
be considered rugged and appealing to a normal,intellegent
woman?>Me, me, me!!! I love the rugged, beaten up look. Vikings, bikers,
boxers. I hate the pretty boy actors today. Dress 'em up in womens' clothes, a
little makeup and a wig, and they could pass for girls. Give me the John Wayne,
Robert Mitchum, Lee Marvin looks any old day! Would you wan't
your daughter to marry an up and
coming fighter?>There'd be guys who wouldn't really be threatened by
their appearance, so much as by what they did. And many guys wouldn't be
threatened at all, would in fact, find it very sexy. I mean even the guys who
were around a long time and took a lot of punches looked good (at least to me).
Duran, Quarry, Bonavena, Chuvalo are all good looking guys. Ali, Frazier, and
Foreman are too.It has nothing to do with a woman being pretty.I
know I did make that dumb statement!I just don't think they will
ever provide an allready unpopular,in trouble sport with any
positivebenifits.>That's possibly true. Men's boxing is always under a
certain amount of siege, and as we've said, the double standard, once beaten up
and punchy women start showing up, could increase this by more than the double
(of a second population segment coming in). The only thing that'd be worse for
producing a nuclear reaction, would be if some kid were to die in a bout.|

know very well the americanculture. I like Gershiwin's music and Richard
Feynman's works ( I'm a physicist since 20/12/2002).I never saw the
Quarry-Shavers and Quarry-McFostervideo clips. Are still available in these
